Hi all

I am 16 weeks, I had my 12 week scan all was fine.. but my symptoms have gone since week 13 and I have no bump what i thought was bump was bloat, I have had a few ligament pains here and there and tugging sensation behind belly button but no bad cramps or bleeding, this is my first pregnancy I am worried that something is wrong for not showing when i know of other people with thier first who are... I had a midwife app next week I am.hoping they can listen to HB still got a little wait till 20 wk scan... has anyone else experienced this? I had a mc a yr ago it died.at 6 wks so I am just dreading the worst

Sorry for your loss OP obviously it’s shaken you. Every pregnancy is different, it is not unusual to have your symptoms calm in the second trimester: less exhausted, boobs less likely to explode etc.
As for a bump- I popped a bump at 6 months with my first (about 4 months with my current second).
I would try as best you can to enjoy this “easy” time before the third trimester comes and laughs at you.
Best of luck OP x

I’m pregnant with my second, with my DD I had morning sickness and then a bump but this time I’ve had hardly anything, occasional mild heartburn and just exhausted. Massively bloated though, so much that the midwife thought I was 8 months gone at my first appointment. I’m 19 weeks now, I have no baby bump but still enormous bloat, still tired but no other symptoms. I’ve been worrying too as I had nothing to say I was still pregnant. But now feeling some movements is so reassuring. Hang in there, you’ll be feeling movements soon, and you’ll know it’s ok.

Im 16 +4 and I feel the same as you, all first trimester symptoms gone and actually feeling pretty good, not feeling pregnant at all. I felt less anxious after the first scan but that seems so long ago and now the worry is back. We've got a private scan booked for monday cos of partners not been allowed in, glad we booked it, don't know if I could have waited till the 20 week one. I guess its normal to feel like this but doesn't make it any easier, hopefully your midwife appointment will put you a little at ease.

Not sure if it helps but I’m 36 weeks and my bump is really small still, it took me until about 20+ weeks to start showing and people always tell me how I don’t look that pregnant. Some people just carry a bit different, hope you’re next Appointment goes well, hearing the heartbeat will put your mind at rest ❤️❤️
